The on-board literature
The on-board literature for your vehicle consists of this “Owner's Manual” as well
as a “Service schedule” and the “Help on the road” brochure.
There can also be other additional operating manuals and instructions on-board
(e. g. an operating manual for the radio) depending on the vehicle model and
equipment.
If one of the publications listed above is missing, please contact a specialist ga-
rage.
The details given in the vehicle's technical documentation always take prece-
dence over the details in the Owner's Manual.
The Owner's Manual
These operating instructions describe all possible equipment variants without
identifying them as special equipment, model variants or market-dependent
equipment.
Consequently, this vehicle does not need to contain all of the equipment compo-
nents described in this Owner's manual.
The scope of equipment for your vehicle is described in the sales documentation
you were given when purchasing the car. For more information, contact your local
ŠKODA retailer.
The illustrations can differ in minor details from your vehicle; they are only inten-
ded for general information.
The Service schedule
contains:
›Vehicle data;
›Service proof;
›Confirmation of mobility warranty (only valid in certain countries);
›important information on the warranty.
The confirmations of the carried out service work are one of the conditions for
possible warranty claims.
Please always present the Service Schedule when you take your car to a special-
ist garage.
If the Service Schedule is missing or worn, please contact the specialist garage
that regularly services your car. You will receive a duplicate, in which the previ-
ously carried out service work are confirmed.
The Help on the Road brochure
The Help on the Road brochure contains the most important telephone numbers
in individual countries as well as the addresses and telephone numbers of ŠKODA
importers.

Layout of this Owner's Manual
(explanations)
The Owner's Manual has been systematically designed in order to make it easy
for you to search for and obtain the information you require.
Chapters, table of contents and subject index
The text of the Owner's manual is divided into relatively short sections which are
combined into easy-to-read chapters. The chapter you are reading at any particu-
lar moment is always specified on the bottom right of the page.
The Table of contents is arranged according to the chapters and the detailed
Subject index at the end of the Owner's Manual helps you to rapidly find the in-
formation you are looking for.
Direction indications
All direction indications such as “left”, “right”, “front”, “rear” relate to the direction
of travel of the vehicle.
Explanation of symbols
 End of a section.
£ The section is continued on the next page.
Notes
WARNING
The most important notes are marked with the heading WARNING. These
WARNING notes draw your attention to a serious risk of accident or injury.
While reading the text you will frequently encounter a double arrow followed
by a small triangle with an exclamation mark. This symbol is intended to draw
your attention to a WARNING note at the end of the section to which you
must pay careful attention.
CAUTION
A Caution note draws your attention to the possibility of damage to your vehicle
(e.g. damage to gearbox), or points out general risks of an accident.
For the sake of the environment
An Environmental note draws your attention to environmental protection as-
pects. This is where you will, for example, find tips aimed at reducing your fuel
consumption.
Note
A normal Note draws your attention to important information about the opera-
tion of your vehicle. 
